1950’s Retro Fridge Makeover

by Laura Locke
I found this cute little fridge on a local swap site and just had to have it even if it didn’t work. Got there, offered half the price and she said yes! And... it works!! Paid a whopping $40. Score!

    I painted my fridge this year and used the appliance spray enamel. I'm having a terrible time keeping it clean, and also my magnets stick. It's been a year of frustration! I need advice, please?

    I’m a very old lady and I remember the release lock on the doors of those refrigerators. Many children suffocated and died bc they couldn’t open the door from inside when hiding or playing in them. Please be very careful.
